In November 1918 Romanowicz joined the Polish Army and became commander of the Tatar Uhlan Regiment, later 7th Mounted Regiment. He participated in the Polish-Soviet War, after the conflict decided to quit the army. In mid-1921 he settled in his family estate and became president of the local Muslim community.
